Question about importing..

Ok, this is for all you guys who have imported before. i have never by the way. When the phone arrives and you insert your sim card, att/tmobile for example. will the phone automatically pick up the required signals to stay on your carrier and not roam to another? or do you have to set it to us what you want only?
Also one of the reasons i am choosing this phone is to have a phone that will be ready and capable of handling att's eventual takeover of tmobile. I would imagine that you will have to get an att sim card when that happens. But it is nice to be prepared Thanx
EDIT> NEW QUESTION ADDED....
Ok I should have asked this but it just crossed my mind.lol.. Since the phone is being imported will everything work correctly?Will I get the Us version of the market, etc?
Also is anyone else afraid of day one bugs?

yes, it's governed by the sim card. you put in an at+t sim card, it'll look for an at+t signal. same with tmobile.
eric b

Well, the T-mobile SIM card will connect you to the T-mo network. The opposite for AT&T SIM card
It has pentaband HSPA+ though, so you'll get full speed with both networks.

Lol ok, seems simple enough. What confused me was i remember on my nexus s, there was a clickable box that allowed me to switch between the two. So i figured id ask

And I'm sure you're thinking of just enabling data roaming. Just remember that if you're using a T-mo SIM card, your phone can't just magically start using AT&T for no reason...

Sure, you could click Network operators and see both networks listed. You would be denied from connecting to the network that doesn't match your SIM though.
Is the knownledge really so bad about GSM in the US that this seems like some kind of dark magic? It must really suck to be so controlled by the carriers whim. You can see it like terrestrial TV. When searching for channels you will pick up all channels that are broadcast (providing the signal is good enough) but you can't actually watch them unless you pay for them.

Yes, it is this bad. No one knows how it works. Not their fault, its the fact that they think that the carriers are the ones that make the phones and give them to consumers, rather than the consumers purchasing phones and using the carriers as dumb network providers.

Ok. Ok... I figured it to be that way, but i wanted to make sure. Like i said i have never imported :/

Just remember, it doesn't matter where in the world the phone comes from. If it supports the bands for the Network/SIM you're using, just put in your SIM and don't worry about it lol. Don't think of it as being an "international" phone. Its just a GSM phone.

I was on T-mobile USA a few years ago when living in the States; started off with pre-paid and moved to a contracct plan. From what I remember, the pre-paid SIM cards don't let you roam on Cingular/AT&T but the contract SIM would. It depends on inter-carrier arrangements so it's best to ask a T-mobile rep about this.
And in doubt, I'd suggest disabling data roaming if you're in area where you can't reliably connect to your normal carrier!

There was a reason why I wasn't posting anything here. I knew stuff in US was a bit different....... So like what hircus said, ask a T-mobile rep.....
In Malaysia where I live, the only contract phones that actually sell in great numbers is the iPhone. Our contracts plans are quite bad and buying an unlocked phone and putting your own SIM card is a cheaper on the long run. Oh, (not too sure for the iPhone), in Malaysia when you buy a phone on contract, the phone is not "locked" to a specific carrier... go figure......

Ok I should have asked this but it just crossed my mind.lol.. Since the phone is being imported will everything work correctly?Will I get the Us version of the market, etc?

yes, the market is sim card dependent you'll get the US market and services (like google voice), no worries.

Galaxy Nexus on Tmobile USA

Does anyone own a Galaxy Nexus connected to Tmobile USA's HSPA+ network in Chicago or midwest? Was wondering what kind of speed are you getting? Thanks in advance.

im in florida.. best so far was 8 DL and 2.1 Upload

it would work with walmart/t-mo plan right? The $30/mo for 5gb 4G data, unlimited text, 100min

I don't see why it wouldn't. All you need is a sim card and the ability to change your plan to that one. I'd consider that plan myself, but I use too many minutes.

It'll be as fast as any other 21mbps HSPA device...

you should be able to use this with simple mobile also. so far, they have the really good deals for non contract service in USA.

Yeah it will; That's what I'm getting too Already have the sim card (DO NOT BUY AT A "Authorized Dealer" ... they rip you off beyond all reason... I normally avoid them but, for some reason, bought the card from them and paid an extra $15)
Btw if you do the math, you can do an extra 400 minutes in overages before you would be going over the $70 price of the Unlimited Everything (5GB of 4G) plan.
So with the $30 plan, you are better off if you use less than 500 mins per month... I use none ...

I think the $30 is worth trying to cut down on the voice anyway, and going with Text or Google Voice as an alternative for unimportant convos

The only issues bringing phones to T-mobile is they often only get 2G service on the network (most quadband phones don't have AWS freq that T-mo use). Other than that, everything works just fine. The Galaxy Nexus is of course pentaband and gets 3G just fine on T-mo.
FWIW there are several hundred thousand iPhones running unlocked on T-mobile right now lol.

I remember with Windows Mobile phones not sold by T-Mobile, to set up MMS you have to manually specify the gateway, server address, and port number to get MMS to work with T-Mobile's network. Is this still necessary? It's been several years since I had to do this so it might not be relevant anymore.

And btw OP, only you can know what the speeds are in your specific location. Even someone within a few miles of you could get quite different speeds because of the load on the tower nearest you.

Wait, so do you have to specify the network and APN or not? The "funny business" is exactly this manual specification of the network info.

Most of the time no. It should pull the info over the network and be all set up for you when you put the SIM in. If you find MMS doesn't work, changing APN settings might be required. You only do it once, it isn't a big deal.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus SIM Card

Does it have a removable sim or is it embedded?

Thus far I think all we know is that there's not a removable SIM and that the Evo LTE has an imbedded SIM for LTE and we're kinda assuming that the Sprint Gnex must also have an embedded SIM for LTE then.

Confirmed embedded by someone else as well.

So much for LTE interchangeability...looks like it will be the same ol' as the CDMA vs GSM thing except with different LTE frequencies/technologies.

i've done lots of searching for this very same answer.
what i've concluded..."embedded sim" means NOTHING. it is the same **** as ESN number verification per carrier.
embedded sim simply means we are giving you 2 serial numbers on your phone to validate in our database. if your phone isn't in our database, we will NOT register your phone.

Yeah but it means that there won't be the luxury of open GSM and swapping phones etc even though they are switching to GSM technology. Its like why bother. Only a cdma carrier can screw up a GSM standard like that. Sigh...I die a bit more each day.

From what I can tell, the phone does have a SIM card that's simply locked into the back of the device which can not be accessed. Anyone willing to pry open the back of the phone to see if the SIM card can be removed?

I don't know man. I saw the FCC filing photos for it and pictures of it pried open. Even given the benefit of the doubt that those pictures wouldn't include a SIM card anyways, it didn't have anywhere inside of it to place a SIM card.

BIP.apk is a proprietary apk on Sprint and Verizon. I am pretty sure it is sim related.
I don't know about this tech to really know for certain. Let me ask: Does GSM HAVE to use a sim card? Or is it more of a feature/convenience/method for carriers to authenticate devices?

I317M - LTE not working

I just hopped on the Note 2 wagon from a GS2. It's been only 2 days, but love it so far. Only problem, I can't seem to be able to acces LTE even though i'm in an urban area where LTE is available. Coverage is good here with Bell Canada. I know with my GS2 i was able to go in the Band Selection Service Menu, to choose the band i wanted to use. Is there such menu with the I317M? Or is there another way to select LTE?
Thanks!

No toggle to turn it on or off as far as I know. Does LTE work in other locations?

Moved around the city with no luck only H+.

Are you using an LTE micro SIM with the Note2?

I worked as a cellphone dealer, you must be on an LTE data plan with a LTE sim card to receive LTE. Call bell to verify you have an lte capable sim card and are on an lte plan.

As long as you're on a postpaid plan with at least 500 MB of data /month, you are eligible for LTE with an LTE capable phone and micro SIM. Bell's LTE micro SIM card is labeled "LTE".

I went to Bell Store at lunch. Exchanged my microSIM for another one with the mention of LTE on it. Now, my phone can receive and transmit in LTE with no problem.
Thanks everyone.

After reading through this thread I too swapped out an old SIM for a new one. But my problem was calls dropping or going straight to voicemail and lte not working in areas but my husbands would work. Got the new SIM card yesterday haven't missed a call, connecting to lte is fast and steady and a bonus is my phone seems to be a little more snappier then b4 like when closing and opening apps or watching youtube videos. Thanks OP for making this tread or else I might not have figured out what was wrong with my phone.

AT&T compatibility

For those of you using AT&T. Do not update your IMEI at this time and hope that the system doesn't auto update it. LTE is not supported on the OP3. I am currently stuck on 4G due to this problem.
I have opened a ticket to get the OP3 registered. I will date back here.

My ATT service is perfect with LTE.
Update your APN's

Nextgenphone and ATT Phone. The network is blocking LTE access. Your IMEI hasn't updated yet. Mine worked fine for a few hours.
I work in a cor AT&T store. There were features removed when I changed my IMEI. Once AT&T updates their IMEI database it'll be fine.

I've had the phone since noon on Friday and still no issues with AT&T. I have not called to change IMEI.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I am having same problem, my two devices are stuck in HSPA mode. I spent over an hour online chat with AT&T to no resolution. They tried but could not understand the problem. I had the phones activated at corporate store today too. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.

Guys don't bother with the att reps. Most of them have no idea what they are doing with an iPhone let alone anything else. The worst thing you can do is call them for help.

I agree with zelendel even though I work for the company. I am sure I'm not the only person who has opened a ticket to the OP3 added. In the mean time if you call customer service and just ask them to have a manager approve adding the nextgenphone apn to your line then it will fix the issue temporarily. I have LTE back for the time being.

How temporarily is the fix? And is there an eta on when att will fix the problem? I will be returning this phone if I can't use LTE on it.

So will this phone be updated and approved to receive LTE in the future by att? This is kind of a major deal if not.

Too late for it to be approved. This is one of the things you learn to deal with when you buy China based devices. They don't get approved by the Fcc which in turn causes issues with LTE and what not.

im on at&t go and it worked out of the box with LTE.

if what the OP said is true, u can get another IMEI that uses a nano sim card and then call att to activate that IMEI with att and then just reinsert the sim into the OP3 without calling, I did not update IMEI either but i do have a little issues with downloading things it switches back and forth quickly between 4+ and LTE but still get good speeds

Just opened my OP3 an hour ago and put my ATT nano sim in.

Yeah my LTE worked fine for at least 5 hours after I changed the IMEI. I was at work on WiFi so I don't know when it quit exactly. Even putting my sim back in a recognized device yielded no data. Called in got the nextgenphone added to my line, LTE came back. The problem with using another IMEI is sooner or later the system will update and you end up with no data.
